New eye-tracking research sheds light on how dogs process and predict the actions of both human and non-human agents, demonstrating that they prioritize the location of an action over the identity of the object involved. This suggests a unique aspect of canine social cognition, where spatial information plays a crucial role in their understanding of others’ behaviors. The findings were published in the journal Animal Cognition. Previous research has suggested that humans use their own motor experiences to interpret other people’s movements. This ability develops early in life and is seen in in...

This means that dogs remember and think about objects, like their toys, in various sensory dimensions such as appearance and scent. The study, published in the journal Animal Cognition, is a significant step towards understanding the cognitive processes of our canine companions. Previous research...
